Easter, no basket? What are you doing instead?

Here it is, Easter weekend. One of my favorite holidays, spring, daffodils, peeps and chocolate bunnies.

I am definitely not going to have a Easter basket this year. I'm kind of mourning the loss of my Fannie May fruit and nut eggs. How are you handling it? I think peeps would put me over the edge (or should I say toliet, lol). I think my sweet tooth was my main down fall.

 

I never did do candy for my Easter basket.  Although I DO have favorite Easter candy!  I don't dump so I really can have anything, but I tried my beloved Cadbury carmel eggs and they just didn't taste the same or very good!  I was sad/thrilled. 

What I do for my Easter basket is fill it with spring presents - like a spring Christmas.  The kids have something to "open" on the morning, and I have no guilt about filling them with unecessary candy.  I usually give them some spring shoes like flip-flops (when they were little it was water shoes!), books, DVDs, gift cards, water guns, bubble blowers, etc...

So this would be a very good year to start a brand new tradition!  What are some of those non-food rewards that you have been wanting so badly?

Money.

I guess Laura.. I will eat a lot of boil easter eggs from the easter egg HUNT... lol only 75 calories per large egg.. plus 15 grams of protein.. but I willhave some foul GAS... LOL.. but I might limit my sugar free jelly beans I found at walmart..one 1 oz only 130 calories.. other than that I'm not messing with any chocolate bunnies.. Have a happy Easter Laura..

There you go. Hard boiled eggs. What was I thinking. . .

Just beware of FOOL gas Laura..LOL.. lots of Maalox

Thanks for the warning. I already had Gas-X strips on my grocery list. I haven't resupplied myself since post-op. They were a life saver back then.

Lisa, I hope you have a blessed Easter. Keep me on your prayer list, as you are on mine. Have a great Easter. What kind of California activity are you doing this weekend? Any bike trips lately? How are the cougars?
